ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 

The  excellent  list  of  books  for  school  libraries  prepared  by  the  Oregon 
Library  Commission  was  extensively  followed  in  the  selection  of  titles,  in 
the  general  plan  of  arrangement  and  classification,  and  for  many  annota- 
tions in  the  compilation  of  the  list  of  1909-10,  of  which  this  is  the  third 
revision.  Grateful  acknowledgment  is  made  to  Miss  Cornelia  Marvin  of  the 
Oregon  Library  Commission  for  the  generous  permission  which  has  made 
the  good  work  done  for  Oregon  available  also  for  Minnesota.

THE  LAW  V 


SCHOOL   LIBRARY   LAW. 

Library  board.  The  State  High  School  Board  shall  from  time  to  time 
prepare  and  amend  a  list  of  books  suitable  for  school  libraries,  including 
dictionaries  and  other  books  of  reference,  histories  and  works  of  biography, 
literature,  political  economy,  agriculture,  travel  and  science.  (1424  as 
amended  by  Chap.  563,  G.  L.  1913.) 

State  library  aid.  Upon  receiving  from  any  district  a  certified  state- 
ment, approved  by  the  county  superintendent  showing  the  purchase  of 
books  specified  and  included  in  the  list  prepared  under  the  foregoing  sec- 
tion, the  appointment  of  a  librarian  for  each  library,  and  the  making  of 
proper  provisions  for  the  care  thereof  and  for  the  free  distribution  of  books 
suitable  for  distribution,  the  state  superintendent  shall  furnish  such  dis- 
trict a  requisition  on  the  state  auditor  for  one-half  the  purchase  price,  not 
exceeding  twenty  dollars  for  the  first  year's  purchase  and  ten  dollars  for 
any  subsequent  year  for  each  separate  school  for  which  a  library  is  so 
furnished. 

Combining  with  public  library.  Provided,  first,  that  any  school  board 
may  agree  with  the  board  of  any  approved  public  library  for  a  specified 
period  to  become  a  branch  of  said  public  library  and  to  receive  therefrom 
library  books  suited  to  the  needs  of  the  pupils  in  the  school  and  for  the 
community.  In  the  event  of  such  agreement  between  the  school  board  and 
the  public  library  board,  such  school  board  may  turn  over  the  books  of  the 
school  library  other  than  those  needed  for  reference  in  the  school,  to  the 
public  library  and  shall  in  case  of  such  agreement  annually  pay  to  such 
public  library,  the  sum  to  be  expended  by  the  school  district  for  the  pur- 
chase of  library  books,  and  any  state  library  aid  to  which  such  school  dis- 
trict is  entitled.  All  books  purchased  by  such  public  library  from  funds 
provided  by  district  or  state  library  aid  shall  be  selected  from  the  state  list 
for  school  libraries.  Any  public  library  making  agreement  with  school  dis- 
tricts for  library  service  as  herein  provided  shall  first  be  approved  by  the 
superintendent  and  the  secretary  of  the  public  library  commission,  who 
shall  make  suitable  rules  governing  relationship  between  school  libraries 
and  each  public  library  co-operating  under  the  provisions  of  this  act.  (1425 
as  amended  by  chap.  563,  G.  L.  1913.) 

This  act  shall  take  effect  and  be  in  force  on  and  after  the  first  day  of 
September,  1913. 


vi  STATE  HIGH  SCHOOL  BOARD  RULES 


STATE   HIGH  SCHOOL  BOARD   RULES 


THE   SCHOOL   LIBRARY. 

Every  school  shall  provide: 

1.  An  adequate  working  library  for  the  use  of  students.  When  there 
is  a  good  public  library  in  the  town,  near  the  school,  open  every  day  and  in 
charge  of  a  competent  librarian,  the  school  library  may  be  reduced  to  the 
books  needed  for  daily  class  room  reference. 

If  there  is  no  adequate  public  library  in  the  town,  the  school  shall  have 
a  working  library  consisting  of  at  least  500  books  selected  from  the  state 
list  of  books  for  elementary  schools,  and  the  state  list  of  books  for  high 
schools. 

State  graded  schools  shall  expend  not  less  than  $25  annually  for  library 
books. 

A  graded  school  which  receives  additional  aid  for  a  high  school  depart- 
ment shall  expend  annually  not  less  than  $15  for  library  books  for  this  de- 
partment. 

State  high  schools  shall  expend  not  less  than  $50  annually  for  library 
books. 

If  the  school  has  made  contract  or  arrangement  with  local  public  library 
for  service,  at  least  the  amount  specified  above  for  each  class  of  school  shall 
be  paid  to  the  public  library  for  purchase  of  books  from  the  state  lists  in 
addition  to  whatever  sums  may  be  agreed  upon  for  service.  (See  chapter 
563,  General  Laws  1913.) 

Where  such  contract  or  arrangement  is  made,  the  superintendent  of  the 
high  school  or  principal  of  the  graded  school  entering  into  such  a  contract 
shall  be  a  member  of  the  public  library  board. 

2.  Library  room.  This  room  should  open  from  a  main  hall.  It  shall 
be  equipped  with  standard  shelving. 

Where  there  is  no  public  library  in  the  town,  the  room  shall  be  pro- 
vided with  suitable  reading  tables. 

3.  Care  of  the  books.  The  books  shall  be  classified  by  a  standard 
classification,  and  shall  be  kept  in  order  on  the  shelves. 

They  may  be  loaned  in  groups  to  the  different  class  rooms  for  use  there. 
Book   supports   shall   be   provided   to   keep   the   books   upright   on   the 
shelves. 

Books  shall  be  kept  in  repair,  and  rebound  when  necessary. 

4.  School  library  records.  Every  school  shall  keep  an  accurate  ac- 
count of  the  bound  books  in  the  library  (exclusive  of  government  docu- 
ments), either  by  means  of  a  standard  accession  book  or  a  card  shelf  list. 
These  records  shall  be  kept  accurately,  and  to  date. 

A  charging  system  shall  be  kept  either  by  book  or  by  means  of  charg- 
ing cards.  From  the  record  thus  kept,  a  circulation  record  shall  be  sum- 
marized. . 

5.  Reports.  An  annual  report  shall  be  made  to  the  Department  of 
Education,  on  the  number  of  volumes  in  the  library,  number  added  each 
year,  condition  and  circulation  of  books. 


STATE  HIGH  SCHOOL  BOARD  RULES  vii 


6.  Service.  Definite  provision  shall  be  made  for  library  service  in  one 
of  the  follovi^ing  ways: 

1.  Combination  with  a  public  library. 

2.  School  librarian.  She  shall  have  the  same  educational  qualifications 
as  a  teacher  and  shall  also  have  had  at  least  a  six  weeks'  course  in  library 
training. 

3.  Teacher  in  charge  of  the  library.  She  shall  not  be  required  to  teach 
more  than  five  periods  per  day,  if  a  high  school  teacher,  or  more  than  five 
hours  per  day,  if  a  grade  teacher. 

The  person  engaged  for  this  work  shall  have  the  endorsement  of  the 
Department  of  Education. 

7.  Instruction  in  the  use  of  the  library.  High  school  students  shall  be 
given  instruction  in  the  use  of  reference  books,  indexes  and  library  clas- 
sification, that  they  may  learn  to  use  the  library  to  the  best  advantage. 

RULES   RELATING   TO   STATE    LIBRARY   AID. 

To  receive  library  aid,  schools  will  select  books  from  the  state  library 
list. 

Districts  will  pay  for  the  library  books  ordered  out  of  their  own  funds. 
The  state  library  aid  will  be  paid  at  the  end  of  the  school  year,  and  each 
district  will  share  on  a  pro  rata  basis. 

The  county  superintendent  will  certify  each  order  for  the  purchase  of 
library  books.  The  book  seller  must  furnish  each  school  board  lists  in 
duplicate  of  the  books  ordered  and  purchased.  One  list  is  to  be  retained 
by  the  school  board  and  the  other  list  sent  with  the  order,  signed  by  the 
county  superintendent,  to  the  superintendent  of  education.  The  lists  sent 
to  the  superintendent  must  be  certified  to  by  the  seller  that  the  books  listed 
were  ordered  and  paid  for  and  were  sent  to  the  school  board,  and  the 
school  board  must  certify  to  the  receipt  of  and  payment  for  the  books  listed. 
The  certificate  of  the  county  superintendent  of  the  seller,  and  of  the  school 
board  will  be  requisites  in  each  case  for  receiving  state  library  aid. 

RULES   RELATING  TO  COMBINING   SCHOOL  AND   PUBLIC   LIBRARIES. 

In  accordance  with  the  law,  rules  governing  the  relationship  of  co- 
operating school  and  public  libraries  have  been  formulated  as  follows: 

1.  The  contract  shall  be  for  a  term  of  not  less  than  one  year. 

2.  The  public  library  making  such  contract  shall  be  approved  by  the 
Superintendent  of  Education  and  the  Secretary  of  the  Library  Commission. 
The  superintendent  of  the  school  shall  be  a  member  of  the  library  board, 
and  the  librarian  shall  have  had  at  least  a  term  of  summer  school  library 
training.  A  copy  of  the  contract  shall  be  filed  with  the  Department  of 
Education. 

3.  The  school  board  may  turn  over  to  the  public  library  any  books 
from  its  library,  excepting  those  needed  for  reference  work  in  the  school. 

4.  The  public  library  may  send  to  the  school  at  least  twice  a  year, 
collections  of  books  selected  by  the  teacher  and  librarian,  who  shall  confer 
as  to  the  books  needed.  When  such  conference  is  not  feasible,  the  teacher 
may  send  to  the  librarian  the  number  of  pupils  in  the  school,  and  their 
ages,  and  may  riiake  suggestions  as  to  books  needed,  the  books  for  chil- 
^en  being  selected  from  the  State  School  library  list. 


viii  DIRECTIONS  FOR  ORDERING 


5.  The  school  board  shall  pay  to  the  library  board  the  total  amount 
to  be  expended  for  library  books  by  the  school  during  the  year. 

The  superintendent  of  the  school-  may  specify  the  books  to  be  pur- 
chased from  the  school  fund. 

Those  selected  to  earn  state  aid,  must  be  chosen  from  the  state  lists 
for  graded  and  high  school  libraries.  The  amount  of  state  library  aid  due 
the  district  will  be  refunded  to  the  district. 


SCHOOL   LIBRARY   LIST— BOOKS  FOR   ELEMENTARY  AND   RURAL 

SCHOOLS. 

This  list  of  books  replaces  the  Catalog  for  School  Libraries  of  Minne- 
sota, 1913-14,  and  must  be  used  for  all  orders. 

Arrangement  of  catalog.  The  list  is  arranged  by  class,  according  to 
the  classification  outline  given  on  page  xix  thus  bringing  books  of  a  similar 
nature  and  use  together.  In  each  class  the  books  are  listed  by  author 
(black  face  type)  and  title  and  each  item  is  numbered  consecutively. 
Library  usage  has  been  followed  in  the  form  of  entry  and  in  capitalization. 
Grades  are  indicated  in  the  margin. 

Index.  A  full  author,  title  and  subject  index  is  given  at  the  end  so  that 
a  book  may  be  found  easily. 

Editions.  The  titles  on  this  list  have  been  tested  for  interest  and  value 
by  librarians  and  teachers,  and  those  editions  selected  which  in  paper, 
print  and  binding  are  considered  the  best  for  the  price.  In  some  cases  there 
are  cheaper  editions  of  the  same  book  on  the  market,  but  it  is  generally 
considered  an  economy  to  pay  a  little  more  for  an  attractive  book  with 
good  print  and  paper. 

In  some  instances,  two  editions  have  been  listed  as  in  some  schools, 
particularly  those  serving  as  a  public  library,  a  fine  edition  is  desired  for 
class  room  use  and  a  cheaper  edition  for  home  reading. 

Price.  Since  the  contract  feature  of  the  school  library  law  was  re- 
pealed, only  the  publishers'  list  price  can  now  be  given.  Get  prices  from  a 
reliable  dealer  before  ordering  your  books.  Be  sure  that  the  prices  are  for 
the  edition  which   is  listed   here. 

Reference  books.  On  the  purchase  of  encyclopedias  or  other  reference 
books  in  sets,  no  state  library  aid  can  be  obtained.  Schools  are  cautioned 
against  buying  expensive  sets  of  reference  books  from  agents  and  are  ad- 
vised to  consult  with  the  Department  of  Education  as  to  the  usual  prices 
on  such  books  before  making  purchases. 


J&mECtlONS  FOR  ORDERING  {3^ 


DIRECTIONS   FOR   ORDERING. 

State  aid.  A  district  receives  state  aid  of  not  more  than  $20  on  the  first 
library  order,  for  each  building  in  the  district,  provided  the  district  pays  an 
equal  amount.  For  each  following  order  the  state  aid  is  310  on  the  pay- 
ment of  an  equal  amount  by  the  district.  No  district  can  be  aided  more 
than  once  each  year. 

If  the  appropriation  is  not  sufficient  to  pay  sums  in  full,  each  district 
will  receive  a  pro  rata  amount  at  the  end  of  the  school  year. 

Districts  will  pay  for  the  library  books  ordered  out  of  their  own  funds. 
The  state  library  aid  will  be  paid  at  the  end  of  the  school  year,  and  each 
district  will  share  on  a  pro  rata  basis. 

Ordering  books.     Order  only  those  on  the  school  list,  1915-16.  , 

Get  library  order  blank  from  the  county  superintendent. 

In  filling  out  library  blank  be  sure  to  give  all  the  information  asked  for, 
i.  e.,  catalog  number,  title  and  price. 

It  is  more  convenient  to  order  all  the  books  wanted,  of  a  reliable  book 
dealer  than  to  divide  the  order  among  the  various  publishers. 

In  sending  order  always  list  some  titles  as  second  choice  to  insure 
prompt  filling  of  your  order.  Some  titles  may  be  temporarily  out  of  stock 
and  some  out  of  print. 

If  shipping  destination  is  a  "prepay  railway  station,"  be  sure  to  enclose 
a  sufficient  amount  to  prepay  transportation  charges. 

Prices.  As  the  legislature  repealed  the  contract  feature  of  the  school 
library  law,  only  the  publishers'  list  price  can  now  be  given.  Get  prices 
from  a  reliable  dealer  before  ordering  your  books. 

Number  of  copies.  No  order  shall  contain  more  than  two  copies  of  the 
same  book  for  each  school  building.  The  aim  of  the  state  aid  for  libraries 
is  not  to  furnish  supplementary  reading,  but  to  provide  suitable  library 
books  for  general  and  collateral  reading,  and  for  reference. 

Numbers  in  parenthesis,  as  for  instance,  (6-8)  following  catalog  number, 
and  preceding  name  of  author  and  title  of  book,  have  reference  to  the  grade 
for  which  the  books  are  suited.  These  numbers  are  not  to  be  recorded 
when  lists  of  books  are  sent  to  the  dealer. 

Time  of  ordering.  To  receive  special  state  aid,  a  semi-graded  or  rural 
school  is  required  to  make  an  addition  to  its  library  each  year.  The  orders 
from  these  and  other  rural  schools  should  be  made  out  and  sent  to  the 
dealer  before  the  beginning  of,  or  early  in  the  term,  so  that  the  pupils 
may  have  the  use  of  the  books  for  practically  the  entire  school  year.  In 
making  out  the  list  of  books  for  their  library,  officers  of  rural  schools 
should  seek  the  assistance  of  their  teacher  and  their  county  superintendent. 
Care  should  be  exercised  to  select  for  these  smaller  libraries  books  suited 
to  the  age  and  advancement  of  the  pupils.  Not  all  books  listed  in  this 
catalog  are  adapted  for  use  in  small  libraries  for  reading  or  reference. 
There  is  no  economy  in  buying  books  to  be  placed  on  the  shelves  simply 
for  ornament.  They  should  appeal  to  the  interest  and  be  suited  to  the 
attainments  of  those  who  are  expected  to  use  them. 


Two  Hundred  Books  for  a  Rural  or  Graded 

School  Library 

The  purpose  of  the  list  is  to  suggest  the  most  desirable  books  for  first 
purchase  and  to  give  a  standard  by  which  a  library  may  be  measured  to 
ascertain  whether  it  contains  books  to  meet  the  work  and  life  of  the  school 
at  all  points  and  provides  suitable  books  for  home  reading  for  pupils  of  all 
ages. 

List  prices  only  are  given.  Prices  to  schools  should  be  obtained  from 
dealers  before  ordering.  In  ordering,  give  publisher  to  insure  getting  the 
right  edition.

xiv  SCHOOL  LIBRARY  MANAGEMENT 


SCHOOL  LIBRARY  MANAGEMENT. 

The  library.  The  library  is  an  important  part  of  the  equipment  of  the 
school.  It  should  increase  the  efficiency  of  the  school  by  assisting  the  work 
at  every  point;  making  the  lessons  more  interesting,  teaching  the  children 
to  observe  the  things  about  them  as  well  as  giving  them  some  knowledge 
of  the  world  outside  and  training  them  to  use  books  for  information  and 
recreation. 

To  do  these  things,  it  must  be  planned  for  as  carefully  as  any  other 
part  of  the  equipment  of  the  school,  considering  what  books  are  needed 
for  the  particular  school,  how  to  care  for  them  to  get  the  best  returns  in 
service,  and  how  to  use  them  most  effectively. 

The  first  consideration  is  the  selection  of  the  books. 

Selection.  1.  Choose  books  which  have  direct  bearing  on  all  the  subjects 
taught  in  the  school,  including  some  on  agriculture,  hygiene,  nature  study 
and  science,  a  complete  United  States  history  for  reference  use,  some  one 
volume  collections  of  literature  (not  sets),  books  about  children's  reading 
and  story  telling,  handbooks  of  information,  atlases  and  simple  reference. 

2.  Choose  reference  books  with  care,  considering  both  subject-matter 
and  price. 

There  is  more  value  in  the  use  of  whole  books  than  in  always  using 
extracts  as  found  in  encyclopedias.  Such  simple  reference  books  as  the 
Champlin  Young  folks  cyclopedias  and  others  on  the  Two-hundred  book 
list  will  serve  until  a  really  fine  encyclopedia  can  be  bought. 

An  encyclopedia  to  be  useful  must  be  of  recent  date.  Be  sure  that  it 
is  not  an  old  edition  with  new  title  page.  Encyclopedias  should  not  be 
purchased  for  schools  without  some  verification  of  prices.  The  supervisor 
of  school  libraries  will  give  the  regular  prices  at  which  standard  encyclo- 
pedias may  be  purchased. 

No  part  of  the  purchase  price  of  encyclopedias,  or  subscription  to  maga- 
zines is  paid  by  the  state. 

Magazines  are  helpful  in  the  work  of  the  school  library.  Do  not  select 
the  cheap,  sensational  magazines,  thus  admitting  to  the  library,  stories 
which  would  be  rejected  in  book  form.  Choose  the  magazines  which  are 
of  current  interest,  and  which  are  valuable  for  debate  work  and  general 
reference  use,  and  worth  binding  as  a  permanent  part  of  the  library.  In 
choosing  magazines,  give  preference  to  those  which  are  indexed. 

A  periodical  index  is  necessary  to  make  all  the  material  in  the  maga- 
zines available.  The  Readers'  guide  to  periodical  literature,  H.  W.  Wilson 
Co.,  White  Plains,  N.  Y.,  is  invaluable  in  the  use  of  magazines,  either  cur- 
rent or  bound.  It  is  issued  monthly.  Write  the  firm  for  prices,  giving  the 
number  of  magazines  for  which  the  school  subscribes.

school  activities;  boys'  and  girls'  clubs,  school  entertainments,  warm  lunches, 
social  center  work,  debating  societies. 

5.  The  library  should  include  those  books  which  are  generally  accepted 
as  the  best  of  the  world's  literature,  and  which  should  be  placed  in  the  way 
of  every  child  while  young.  Some  of  these  are:  Alcott,  Little  Women; 
Bunyan,  Pilgrim's  Progress;  Baldwin,  Story  of  Siegfried;  Carroll,  Alice  in 
Wonderland;  Grimm,  Fairy  tales;  Hawthorne,  Wonder  book;  Harris,  Uncle 
Remus;  Kipling,  Jungle  book;  Lamb,  Tales  from  Shakespeare;  Macleod, 
Book  of  King  Arthur;  Mother  Goose;  Stevenson,  Childs'  Garden  of  Verses; 
Treasure  Island.     There  are  many  others  which  should  be  included. 

6.  In  selecting  stories,  choose  those  which  are  strong  in  human  in- 
terest, but  which  preserve  the  right  ideals  of  conduct  and  achievement. 

7.  Choose  some  interesting  biography  for  all  the  grades,  to  follow  the 
reading  of  the  stories  of  imaginary  people,  books  which  will  inspire,  as  well 
as  those  which  will  give  interest  to  the  study  of  history. 

8.  Select  books  to  meet  the  children's  interests  or  to  develop  talents; 
books  of  games,  sports,  drawing,  occupations,  such  as  simple  books  of  sew- 
ing and  basketry  for  the  girls;  mechanics,  electricity  and  wood  working  for 
the  boys.    Have  books  on  vocations  for  boys  and  girls. 

9.  Always  choose  the  books  with  the  pupils  in  mind,  selecting  those 
which  are  easily  within  their  comprehension.  Have  something  for  all  ages 
and  interests. 

10.  Select  only  those  which  are  wholesorae  in'  tone,  which  are  written 
in  good  English,  and  which  contain  enough  information,  beauty  or  enjoy- 
ment to  make  them  worth  while.  Do  not  select  any  books  because  they 
are  harmless,  but  select  them  because  they  will  contribute  to  the  life  and 
work  of  the  school. 

Select  books  in  as  good  editions  as  can  be  afforded.  An  attractive  look- 
ing book  will  be  read  and  enjoyed,  while  the  same  in  small  type,  poor  paper 
and  dingy  cover  will  never  be  read. 


xvi  LIBRARY  ROOM 


LIBRARY   ROOM. 

The  rules  relating  to  school  buildings  require  a  library  room  ia  all 
school  buildings.  In  a  consolidated  or  graded  school  the  library  room  must 
have  an  area  of  not  less  than  200  square  feet. 

It  should  be  a  workshop,  planned  for  real  work,  and  the  tools,  the 
books,  should  be  in  order  and  cared  for. 

It  should  be  easily  accessible.  If  there  is  no  public  library  in  the  town, 
the  school  library  room  should  be  planned  that  it  may  be  used  as  a  public 
library  also.  Where  this  is  a  necessity,  the  library  should  be  on  the  first 
floor,  and  with  an  outside  entrance  if  possible. 

When  the  library  is  on  the  second  floor,  it  should  be  reached  from  a 
main  hall,  not  through  class  rooms  or  cloak  rooms. 

The  room  should  not  be  smaller  than  an  ordinary  class  room.  It  should 
be  large  enough  to  shelve  the  present  collection  comfortably,  never  two 
rows  of  books  on  a  shelf,  and  to  allow  for  growth,  and  it  should  admit  of 
tables  for  reading  and  reference  use. 

Lighting.  Care  should  be  taken  in  planning,  to  secure  plenty  of  natural 
light  for  both  the  shelves  and  the  reading  tables. 

Shelving.  The  present  types  of  school  buildings  with  light  entering 
from  one  side  make  it  necessary  to  put  most  of  the  shelving  on  one  side  of 
the  room. 

Provide  open  shelves  if  possible,  having  all  books  in  view  and  within 
reach.  Shelving  should  be  built  around  the  walls,  and  under  the  windows, 
if  these  are  sufllciently  high.  Shelving  should  be  built  standard  height, 
which  is  about  seven  feet  two  inches,  allowing  a  six-inch  base,  six  shelves 
one  inch  thick,  with  ten  inches  space  between  and  a  twelve-inch  space  for 
the  bottom  shelf  to  accommodate  large-sized  books.  Shelves  should  be 
eight  inches  deep,  and  not  more  than  thirty-six  inches  long,  as  they  will 
sag  if  too  long.  Avoid  high  shelving  and  unsightly  cupboards.  If  books 
must  be  locked  In  a  case,  secure  one  with  glass  doors. 

Where  wall  space  is  limited  and  the  room  is  sufficiently  wide,  short, 
double-faced  stacks  not  more  than  thirty-six  inches,  may  be  built  from  the 
wall  shelving  at  intervals  of  four  feet,  thus  making  alcoves.  If  there  is 
any  space  under  the  windows  not  needed  for  radiation,  shelves  may  be 
placed  there  for  reference  books,  allowing  six-inch  base,  two  shelves  one 
inch  thick  and  not  more  than  nine  inches  deep.  The  top  of  such  a  case 
should  be  flush  with  the  window  sill  and  will  make  a  convenient  shelf  to 
rest  the  book  upon  while  consulting  it.  This  space  may  be  divided  into 
small  compartments  and  utilized  for  magazines,  each  division  being  marked 
with  name  of  magazine. 

Furniture.  The  room  should  have  at  least  reading  tables  and  chairs 
placed  near  the  windows,  a  table  or  desk  for  the  librarian,  a  cabinet  for  the 
catalog,  and  built-in  magazine  rack. 

A  good  size  for  tables  is  six  feet  long,  three  feet  wide,  thirty  inches 
high.  Round  corners  are  most  desirable.  Allow  at  least  thirty  inches  seat- 
ing capacity  for  each  person  and  aisles  from  three  to  five  feet  between 
tables.     (Stearns — Essentials  in  library  administration.) 

Specifications  for  magazine  rack  will  be  sent  upon  application  to  the 
Supervisor  of  school  libraries.  Bulletin  boards  are  useful  adjuncts  for  post- 
ing current  news  items,  lists  of  books,  or  pictures  interesting  to  the  dif- 
ferent classes.    They  may  be  made  of  a  square  of  cork  carpet,  framed. 


ROUTINE  IN  PUTTING  LIBRARY  IN  ORDER  xvii 

ROUTINE  IN   PUTTING  LIBRARY   IN  ORDER. 

1.  Sort  books,  mending  those  in  need  of  repair.    Discard  very  worn  or 

soiled  books.    Send  to  bindery,  those  in  need  of  rebinding. 

2.  Paste  book  pocket  on  Inside  front  or  back  cover. 

3.  Classify. 

4.  Accession. 

5.  Write  book  card. 

6.  Mark  books  on  back. 

7.  Arrange  on  shelves. 

8.  Make  shelf  markers.     Post  classification  outline. 

Binding  and  mending.  The  library  should  contain  only  books  which  are 
in  condition  to  be  used.  Those  which  are  out  of  repair  or  too  soiled  to  be 
of  service  should  not  be  kept  on  the  shelves. 

When  to  rebind  a  book.  If  the  stitches  are  broken  and  the  sections  are 
loose  throughout  the  book,  it  must  be  rebound  at  once  if  it  is  to  give  fur- 
ther service. 

Bind  books  costing  more  than  fifty  cents  if  they  are  of  value  to  the 
library. 

When  not  to  bind.  Do  not  bind  books  with  pages  missing,  or  with  very 
narrow  inside  margins.  As  a  rule,  do  not  bind  books  costing  fifty  cents  or 
less.  Exception  is  sometimes  made  to  this  rule  in  case  of  picture  books 
which  are  much  stronger  after  rebinding  than  in  original  covers. 

Bind  magazines  needed  for  reference  work,  if  indexed. 

Mending.    Some  mending  may  be  done  to  good  advantage. 

If  the  sewing  of  the  book  is  still  tight,  but  the  book  is  loose  from  the 
cover  it  may  be  successfully  repaired,  by  using  cloth  strips  and  home-made 
paste. 

Never  use  glue  or  mucilage  in  mending,  because  they  render  the  book 
unfit  for  binding. 

Tears  in  the  pages  may  be  mended  by  means  of  thin  bond  paper  and 
paste,  and  loose  plates  or  a  page  torn  out  may  be  replaced  with  the  same 
materials. 

A  useful  guide  to  the  mending  of  books  is  Sawyer,  How  to  care  for 
books  in  a  library.  This  may  be  obtained  from  the  Democrat  Printing  Co., 
Madison,  Wis.    Price  10  cents. 

Addresses  of  binderies  will  be  furnished  by  the  Supervisor  of  school 
libraries. 

Uses  for  discarded  books.  Portions  of  worn  books  may  sometimes  be 
used  to  advantage.  Illustrations  having  any  value  in  connection  with  na- 
ture, language  or  story  work  may  be  trimmed  and  filed  in  large  envelopes 
marked  with  the  subject  for  which  they  are  useful,  or  they  may  be  mounted 
on  pulp  board  cut  to  uniform  size,  marked  with  the  subject  and  filed  in 
cases  or  drawers.  Single  poems  may  be  mounted  in  the  same  way,  filed 
and  indexed.  Stories  for  telling  may  also  be  saved  and  filed  in  bulletin 
boxes.  In  some  country  schools,  books  to  be  discarded  are  looked  over  for 
material  for  booklets,  such  as  a  Longfellow  booklet,  containing  a  biograph- 
ical sketch  and  extracts  from  his  writings.  This  material  is  marked  and 
filed  away  until  needed. 


xviii  ROUTINE  IN  PUTTING  LIBRARY  IN  ORDER 


Preparation  of  new  books  for  the  shelves.  When  the  books  are  received 
check  with  bill  and  with  order  to  see  that  all  have  been  received.  Many 
libraries  put  date  of  bill,  place  where  bought,  and  price,  in  the  book  back 
of  the  title  page. 

"When  working  with  the  books,  open  each  one  carefully  according  to 
directions.    This  will  make  the  books  wear  much  longer. 

How  to  open  a  new  book:  Lay  the  book,  back  downward,  on  a  table  or 
smooth  surface.  Press  the  front  cover  down  until  it  touches  the  table,  then 
the  back  cover,  holding  the  leaves  in  one  hand  while  you  open  a  few  at  the 
back,  then  at  the  front,  alternately,  pressing  them  down  gently  until  you 
reach  the  center  of  the  volume.  Never  open  the  book  violently  nor  bend 
back  the  covers,  it  is  liable  to  break  the  back  and  to  loosen  the  leaves. 

Stamp  books  with  school  stamp  and  put  in  school  book  plate,  classify. 
Enter  the  books  in  the  accession  book  or  library  record  book. 

Classification.  To  bring  material  that  is  alike  together  on  the  shelves, 
the  books  must  be  classified.  A  school  library  should  be  classified  by  a 
standard  system,  because  a  library  classified  by  an  original  system  cannot 
readily  be  used  by  anyone  except  the  originator,  and  school  superintendents 
change  frequently.  By  the  use  of  a  standard  system,  the  library  is  brought 
into  harmony  with  other  library  work,  is  intelligible  to  anyone  who  has  ever 
\ised  a  library  and  pupils  who  become  familiar  with  the  classification  of  a 
school  library  can  use  a  public  library  with  ease. 

The  standard  classification  for  libraries  is  the  Dewey  decimal  system. 
For  school  libraries  an  abbreviated  form  as  used  in  the  Minnesota  school 
library  lists,  will  be  found  useful.

A  copy  of  this  outline  should  be  posted  on  the  end  of  the  book  shelves. 

The  Minnesota  school  library  list  will  be  a  help  in  classifying.  Through 
the  index  at  the  back  the  page  on  which  the  book  is  listed  may  be  found. 
Turn  to  this  place.  The  number  given  at  the  beginning  of  the  division 
under  which  the  book  is  found,  is  the  classification  number  for  all  the  books 
in  that  division,  thus,  all  books  oi  American  history  will  have  the  classifi- 
cation number  973.  In  order  to  arrange  books  alphabetically  in  each  class, 
some  libraries  add  below  the  classification  number,  the  first  letter  of  the 
author's  surname  (or  first  two  letters  if  the  name  begins  with  a  vowel). 
Thus  Elson's  History  of  the  United  States  would  be  marked     973

ACCESSIONING 


If  the  library  is  large  and  it  seems  desirable  to  separate  the  books  for 
the  grades  from  those  for  the  high  school,  the  character  (y)  may  be  placed 
before  the  class  number  for  the  grade  books  and  (Y)  for  grade  fiction. 
Place  the  books  thus  marked  in  separate  shelves. 

While  classifying,  the  number  may  be  written  on  a  slip  and  put  in  the 
book  temporarily. 

Accessioning.  The  accession  record  is  a  chronological  list  of  the  books 
added  to  the  library,  and  is  a  most  important  business  record.  It  is  used 
as  a  basis  for  insurance,  to  give  the  number  of  volumes  in  the  library,  to 
ascertain  the  cost  of  any  particular  book,  and  if  fully  and  accurately  kept 
may  give  a  complete  history  of  each  book  from  entry  to  withdrawal.  The 
most  important  items  are  the  author's  name,  title  and  price. 

Accession  books  may  be  bought  or  a  strong  blank  book  (8x10  inches) 
with  lines  numbered  consecutively  may  be  used  and  ruled  like  the  form 
below.

Notes 

The  accession  record  should  not  be  kept  in  the  same  book  with  the 
charging  record. 

Enter  all  books  in  the  accession  book,  one  volume  to  a  line,  and  assign 
to  each  a  number  from  the  number  of  the  line  on  which  it  is  entered.  This 
is  the  accession  number  of  the  book,  which  should  be  written  on  the  first 
right-hand  page  following  the  title  page  and  on  the  book  plate  or  book 
pocket. 

Enter  only  one  book  to  a  line,  whether  a  single  book  or  a  volume  in  a 
set. 

Do  not  use  an  accession  number  a  second  time.  If  the  book  is  lost 
or  withdrawn,  make  note  in  withdrawal  or  notes  column,  but  do  not  erase 
entry. 

Do  not  accession  books  in  bad  condition,  unbound  pamphlets,  govern- 
ment or  state  documents  unless  they  are  classified  as  part  of  the  library. 

After  the  book  is  classified  and  accessioned,  the  class  number  should 
be  marked  on  the  back. 

Marking.  Mark  each  book,  on  the  back,  in  the  same  relative  position, 
one  and  one-half  or  two  inches  from  the  bottom.  Use  a  card  guide  to  in- 
sure uniformity  of  position.  Mark  with  plain  print  figures,  not  too  large, 
but  large  enough  to  be  easily  seen.  Some  libraries  use  white  labels,  mark- 
ing the  number  in  black  ink.  As  labels  come  off  easily,  most  libraries  find 
ink  marking  directly  on  the  book,  more  serviceable,  using  white  ink  for  dark 
books  and  India  ink  for  light  ones.    In  the  use  of  white  ink,  it  is  necessary 


ARRANGEMENT.     CHARGING  SYSTEM  Xxi 

to  have  a  glass  of  water  at  hand,  to  put  the  pen  in,  when  the  ink  becomes 
dry  on  the  point.  After  the  books  are  marked,  coat  the  marking  lightly  with 
white  spirit  varnish,  to  make  it  permanent.  White  or  very  light  books  may 
be  coated  all  over  with  varnish  and  after  thorough  drying,  may  be  cleaned 
by  wiping  with  a  -damp  cloth. 

Arrangement.  Put  the  books  on  the  shelves  by  class,  in  numerical  or- 
der.    In  each  class  arrange  alphabetically  by  author. 

Fiction  which  is  not  usually  given  a  number,  but  only  marked  with 
author's  initial,  may  be  shelved  before  the  800's  pr  at  the  end.  Arrange 
alphabetically  by  author's  name. 

Reference  books  are  placed  by  themselves  on  a  special  shelf  and  are 
not  circulated. 

Reference  pamphlets  should  be  kept  in  boxes  marked  with  subject. 
Pamphlet  boxes  should  also  be  provided  for  unbound  magazines.  In  this 
way  they  may  be  kept  together  and  in  condition  to  be  used. 

Have  book  supports  to  keep  books  upright  on  the  shelves.  They  not 
only  give  the  library  a  better  appearance,  but  also  lessen  the  wear  on  books. 
Book  supports  may  be  bought.  A  brick,  neatly  covered  with  paper  may  be 
used  until  these  can  be  purchased. 

Pamphlet  boxes  should  be  provided  for  agricultural  bulletins  and  other 
pamphlets.  Satisfactory  ones  may  be  obtained  for  $6  per  hundred  or  single 
box  10c.  They  should  be  marked  with  the  subject  and  may  be  classified 
and  placed  on  the  shelves  with  the  books. 

Mark  each  shelf  with  the  number  of  the  class  and  the  name  of  the 
subject  to  facilitate  proper  placing  of  books  and  ease  in  finding  them,  as 
580— Botany. 

Labels  may  be  printed  with  rubber  type  and  tacked  on  the  shelves  with 
very  small  upholstery  tacks,  or  shelf  label  holders  may  be  bought.  Some 
libraries  use  gummed  figures  and  letters,  pasting  directly  on  the  shelves. 

Charging  system.  An  accurate  record  of  books  loaned  should  be  kept, 
so  that  any  book  belonging  to  the  library,  if  not  in  its  place  on  the  shelves, 
may  be  located  immediately.  This  record  should  show  the  date  on  which 
the  book  was  loaned,  and  the  name  of  the  borrower,  and  the  date  returned, 
if  the  record  is  kept  in  a  book. 

There  are  two  systems  in  use,  the  book  charging  system  and  the  card 
charging  system. 

Books  designed  for  this  use  may  be  bought,  or  a  blank  book  ruled  in 
columns  to  give  information  mentioned  above. 

The  card  charging  system  is  convenient  and  saves  time.  In  this  sys- 
tem, each  book  has  a  book  pocket  pasted  on  the  front  or  the  back  cover. 
The  book  pocket  should  bear  the  name  of  the  school  library  stamped  or 
printed  upon  it  at  the  bottom.  At  the  top  (left  side)  the  class  number 
should  be  printed  and  the  accession  number  at  the  right.  The  book  card 
is  kept  in  the  book  pocket  when  the  book  is  in  the  library.  On  the  book 
card,  the  information  is  written,  by  hand  or  on  the  typewriter,  as  indicated 
below.  A  date  slip  is  useful  to  show  the  borrower  when  the  book  is  due. 
This  may  be  made  of  a  slip  of  paper  the  size  of  the  book  card  and  the 
date  stamped  with  a  rubber  stamp. 

To  loan  a  book,  take  the  book  card  from  the  pocket,  write  the  name 
of  the  borrower  and  the  date  in  columns  and  write  or  stamp  the  date  on 
the  date  slip.     This  date  is  a  guide  to  the  borrower,  as  he  must  return

the  books  are  due  (two  weeks  from  date  of  issue)  having  date  guides  in 
the  charging  tray  or  they  may  be  alphabetically  arranged  by  author's  name. 
When  a  book  is  returned,  look  at  the  date  on  the  date  slip,  find  the  book 
card  in  the  charging  tray,  put  in  the  book  and  return  book  to  the  shelf. 
It  is  not  necessary  to  stamp  the  book  with  the  date  returned.  The  fact 
that  the  book  card  is  in  the  book  pocket  and  the  book  is  on  the  shelf  is 
evidence  that  the  book  was  returned. 

Record  of  books  loaded.  Circulation  statistic  sheets  may  be  obtained 
from  the  Department  of  Education  or  a  sheet  of  paper  may  be  ruled  into 
spaces  for  every  school  day  of  the  month.    Date  each  space. 

Each  day  that  books  are  loaned,  count  the  cards  before  filing,  and  write 
the  number  in  the  space  for  that  day.  From  this  record  monthly  and  yearly 
totals  can  readily  be  made  up.

Rules  for  borrowers.  Any  pupil  is  entitled  to  draw  books  by  making 
application  to  the  teacher.  Any  resident  of  the  district  may  borrow  books 
not  needed  in  school  work. 

Every  borrower  may  draw  one  book  at  a  time,  being  entitled  to  both 
parts  of  a  two-volume  book. 

Books  may  be  retained  two  weeks,  and  may  be  once  renewed  for  the 
same  period,  unless  reserved  for  another  borrower. 

Suitable  fines  (not  more  than  one  cent  a  day,  or  five  cents  a  week,  if 
the  library  is  open  only  once  a  week)  should  be  paid  for  books  kept  over 
time,  and  for  loss  or  injury  of  books  beyond  reasonable  wear. 

Borrower's  record.  Some  schools  wish  to  keep  a  record  of  each  book 
read  by  each  student.  If  this  is  desired,  a  borrower's  card  may  be  made  for 
each  child,  giving  name  and  grade.  When  a  book  is  drawn,  the  title  is  writ- 
ten on  the  borrower's  card  and  the  date  that  the  book  is  taken.  This  card 
may  be  kept  by  the  borrower  or  all  borrowers'  cards  may  be  filed  alpha- 
betically in  one  part  of  the  charging  tray. 

Catalog.  The  Minnesota  school  library  lists  will  serve  as  a  substitute 
for  a  catalog  in  some  measure,  while  the  library  is  small. 


CATALOGING  '  xxiii 


Check  the  author  and  title  indexes  and  the  divisions  by  classes  for  the 
books  in  your  library.  Keep  these  checked  lists  with  the  library  and  use 
as  an  index. 

Cataloging.  The  library  will  not  give  all  the  service  it  may  until  all 
the  material  it  contains  is  made  readily  available. 

Schools  are  coming  to  the  realization  that  it  is  better  economy  to  buy 
fewer  books  and  to  spend  some  money  in  having  them  indexed  for  ready  use. 

For  a  collection  of  more  than  five  hundred  volumes,  some  card  record 
is  desirable.  For  advice  and  suggestions  as  to  this  work,  consult  the  Super- 
visor of  school  libraries. 

Shelf  list.     This  is  the  first  card  record  usually  installed. 

It  is  a  list  on  cards  of  all  the  books  in  the  library.  The  cards  are  ar- 
ranged as  the  books  are  arranged  on  the  shelves  and  it  may  be  called  the 
"table  of  contents"  of  the  library.  The  information  given  on  the  shelf  list 
card  consists  of  the  class  number,  the  author's  name,  brief  title  and  the 
accession  number.  The  shelf  list  may  be  used  as  a  subject  catalog,  espe- 
cially if  an  alphabetical  index  is  added. 

Card  catalog.  A  card  catalog,  properly  prepared,  gives  a  complete  index 
of  all  the  material  in  the  books  in  the  library.  The  author,  title  and  subject 
cards  are  arranged  in  one  alphabet  like  a  dictionary. 

To  make  a  catalog  properly  requires  technical  knowledge  of  cataloging 
and  the  work  should  not  be  undertaken  without  instruction. 

In  the  large  school  libraries  it  is  recommended  that  the  teacher  in 
charge  of  the  library  should  take  advantage  of  the  six  weel^'  course  in 
library  methods  given  by  the  library  commission  at  the  university  summer 
school. 

Full  dictionary  card  catalogs  containing  author,  title  and  subject  cards 
for  whole  books  and  parts  of  books  may  now  be  purchased.  For  informa- 
tion apply  to  the  Supervisor  of  school  libraries. 

Card  catalog  cases.  In  buying  cases  for  card  shelf  list  or  catalog,  only 
those  planned  for  rods  should  be  purchased.  All  cards  must  have  holes 
punched  for  rods.  Unless  the  cards  are  thus  securely  locked  in  the  drawers 
they  will  be  lost  and  the  index  become  incomplete  and  valueless. 

Reports.  Reports  on  the  library,  as  on  any  part  of  the  school  property, 
are  asked  for  by  the  inspectors. 

If  properly  kept,  the  accession  book  will  answer  most  of  the  items 
asked  for  in  the  statistical  report:  number  of  books  in  library,  number  of 
books  added,  amount  expended  for  books,  number  of  books  discarded,  re- 
bound. 

Service.  To  properly  arrange  a  library,  keep  it  in  order  and  direct  its 
use  to  the  greatest  advantage  requires  regular  work  from  some  one.  If  a 
teacher  is  in  charge  of  the  library  she  must  be  allowed  time  to  do  this  as  a 
part  of  her  regular,  paid  duties,  not  in  addition  thereto. 

Training  teacher  librarians.  The  State  high  school  board  rules  require 
that  teachers  in  charge  of  school  libraries  must  have  training  for  this  work. 
The  Library  commission  will  admit  a  limited  number  of  teacher-librarians 
to  the  library  summer  school  held  at  the  University. 


xxiv  USE  OF  LIBRARY 


Beginning  with  the  first  semester,  1915-16,  the  College  of  education, 
University  of  Minnesota,  will  offer  a  course  in  elementary  library  methods 
to  qualify  teachers  to  give  part  time  library  service  in  the  high  schools  of 
the  state. 

Use  of  the  library.  To  make  the  library  serviceable  in  connection  with 
the  school  work,  the  pupils  must  be  trained  to  use  the  books. 

1.  Teach  the  children  the  physical  parts  of  a  book  and  how  it  is  made, 
including  instruction  in  proper  handling. 

2.  Lessons  should  be  given  on  the  printed  parts,  particularly  the  title 
page,  introduction,  table  of  contents  and  index,  teaching  the  information  to 
be  gained  from  each. 

3.  Make  a  study  of  the  dictionary  to  find  out  what  information  may 
be  gained  here  in  addition  to  the  definition  and  derivation  of  words.  Teach 
the  meaning  of  the  abbreviations  used  and  what  is  meant  by  the  terms: 
dictionary  arrangement,  classed  arrangement. 

4.  Teach  the  classification  scheme  of  the  library  and  train  the  pupils 
to  find  material  on  different  subjects  from  the  shelves  of  the  library. 

HELPS  IN  TEACHING  THE  USE.

Elementary  chapters  on  books,  their  structure,  parts  and  reference  use. 

The  teacher  or  school  librarian  must  know  the  contents  of  the  books 
in  order  to  connect  them  with  the  pupils'  tastes  or  interests.  This  is  the 
first  essential  to  effective  use  of  the  library.  If  she  knows  her  books  there 
are  many  ways  of  interesting  the  pupils  in  them. 

1.  Class  room  libraries:  A  few  books  of  especial  interest  may  be 
placed  temporarily  in  each  room  to  stimulate  interest.  If  possible,  these 
books  should  be  in  beautiful  editions,  with  cheaper  copies  in  the  library 
for  home  use. 

2.  Reading  circle  lists:  Some  children  like  to  read  from  lists.  Have 
one  for  each  grade  and  post  in  the  room.  This  reading  may  be  connected 
with  the  language  work.  Encourage  children  to  own  books,  and  parents  to 
start  home  libraries  for  their  children. 

3.  Story  telling:  By  means  of  stories,  interest  may  be  aroused.  If  an 
ethical  story  is  used,  do  not  point  the  moral.  Make  direct  reference  to 
the  book  in  which  the  story  is  found,  having  a  copy  at  hand  if  possible. 
Tell  stories  from  the  books  in  the  library,  rather  than  always  relying  on 
collections  of  stories. 

4.  Reading  aloud  a  part  of  a  book  may  induce  the  reading  of  the 
whole.  Use  this  means  to  introduce  books  of  the  finest  quality  and  those 
a  little  beyond  the  grasp  of  the  pupils'  own  reading. 

5.  Counteract  the  use  of  poor  books  by  stimulating  interest  in  really 
good  ones. 

6.  Lead  to  use  of  good  books  by  indirect  suggestion,  sometimes  men- 
tioning a  character  or  incident  from  a  book. 

7.  Use  the  pupils'  interests  to  lead  to  the  world  of  books,  in  work  or 
play. 

8.  Remember  that  acquaintance  with  books  lays  a  foundation  for  com- 
panionship among  educated  people.  See  that  the  pupils  in  the  school  are 
getting  the  books  "that  every  child  has  read." 


USE.  XXV 

9.  Connect  the  library  with  the  life  and  work  of  the  school.  Use  it  in 
connection  with  the  lessons,  for  ethical  instruction,  for  observance  of  holi- 
days, for  the  literary  society  or  debate  club. 

10.  Plan  definite  courses  of  reading  through  the  grades  to  prepare  for 
intelligent  use  of  books  in  the  high  school. 

11.  Allow  time  for  reports  on  home  reading  and  discussion  of  book 
favorites.  Recommendations  on  what  to  read  next  will  give  opportunity  for 
progressive  work. 

12.  In  the  high  school,  the  library  should  strengthen  the  English  work, 
not  only  in  the  study  of  the  classics,  but  in  practical  work  in  vocational 
guidance,  and  preparation  for  life  work. 

13.  Provide  interesting  books  for  the  home  reading  of  high  school  stu- 
dents as  carefully  as  for  the  grades. 

Community  service.  The  consolidated  school  is  founded  upon  the  idea  of 
corajmunity  service  and  all  the  equipment  should  be  a  means  to  this  end.  In 
this  type  of  school,  the  library  should  play  an  important  part.  The  room 
should  be  sufficiently  large  to  be  used  as  a  reading  room  and  it  should  be 
easy  of  access,  so  that  people  will  come  freely.  It  should  serve  as  a  bureau 
of  information  for  farmers'  clubs  and  the  women's  clubs  of  the  neighbor- 
hood, and  the  traveling  library  may  be  kept  here  if  provision  is  made  for 
regular  service. 

Many  of  the  books  on  the  state  school  lists,  particularly  those  listed 
for  the  7th  and  8th  grades  and  for  the  high  school,  will  be  of  interest  for 
the  grown  people,  particularly  those  on  agriculture,  home  economics  and 
books  of  travel,  biography  and  many  of  the  stories. 

Some  books  for  adults  may  be  added  to  the  library,  raising  money  for 
these  by  entertainments  or  by  subscriptions. 

A  list  of  interesting  books  for  school  libraries  open  to  the  neighbor- 
hood will  be  furnished,  upon  request,  by  the  supervisor  of  school  libraries. 
No  library  aid  can  be  obtained  on  the  purchase  of  books  not  included  in  the 
state  lists. 

Advice  on  school  libraries.  The  supervisor  of  school  libraries  of  the 
Department  of  Education,  will  give  advice  upon  the  selection  of  books,  plans 
and  furniture  for  library  rooms  in  school  buildings,  and  all  matters  pertain- 
ing to  school  libraries. 

Traveling  libraries.  The  Minnesota  Public  Library  Commission  main- 
tains a  system  of  traveling  libraries  whereby  any  community  may  obtain 
books  for  general  reading,  charging  only  a  fee  for  transportation.  It  has  not 
been  the  custom  to  house  these  libraries  in  the  school  as  the  buildings  are 
closed  so  much  of  the  time.  Where  definite  arrangements  are  made  for 
opening  school  libraries  to  the  public,  such  traveling  libraries  may  be  se- 
cured. For  further  information  and  application  blanks  address  the  Minne- 
sota Public  Library  Commission,  The  Capitol,  St.  Paul,

TEACHERS'  TRAINING  DEPARTMENT  Xxvii 


TEACHERS'   TRAINING    DEPARTMENT. 

Notes  for  study  on  the  Rural  school  library. 
Introductory. 

The  teachers'  training  departments  in  the  high  schools  prepare  teachers 
for  the  rural  schools.  One  of  the  first  things  a  country  teacher  has  to  do 
is  to  select  a  school  library.  She  often  has  little  knowledge  of  children's 
books,  and  little  idea  of  what  the  school  library  may  be  in  the  school. 

The  training  school  should  include  in  its  work  some  discussion  of  the 
rural  school  library,  its  purpose  and  use,  afford  an  opportunity  for  acquaint- 
ance with  the  best  children's  books  which  are  suited  to  the  needs  of  the 
rural  school,  and  give  the  cadets  a  knowledge  of  the  state  School  list,  from 
which  they  must  select  their  books,  so  that  they  may  use  it  to  advantage. 

The  following  notes  are  designed  to  help  the  teacher  of  the  training 
class  to  give  such  instruction.  The  work  is  based  on  the  state  list,  the 
Minnesota  School  library  list — Books  for  elementary  and  rural  schools  a 
copy  of  which  should  be  personally  examined  by  every  student.  These 
may  be  obtained  from  the  County  superintendent. 

It  is  recommended  that  each  student  teacher  be  required  to  read  at  least 
15  of  the  books  on  the  list:  Two  hundred  books  tcft  a  rural  school  library, 
and  examine  many  others.  The  teacher  should  assign  the  books  to  be 
read  so  that  the  books  will  be  selected  from  the  different  classes. 

In  making  the  assignment,  the  teacher  will  find  a  basis  for  criticism 
in  the  notes  given  at  the  beginning  of  the  classes  in  this  list. 

Every  training  department  should  have  in  the  class  room,  where  there 
is  not  a  well  organized  school  library,  its  own  library  of  books  helpful  to 
the  training  department  and  the  country  teacher.  A  list  for  such  a  library 
is  included  in  this  list,  pages  90-96. 

The  training  department  should  also  own  or  have  access  to  all  the 
books  on  the  list  Two  hundred  books  for  a  rural  school  library. 

THE   RURAL   SCHOOL   LIBRARY, 

Every  teacher  needs^ 

(1)  Knowledge  and  appreciation  of  books  for  help  in  her  school  work 
and  intimate  acquaintance  with  the  best  children's  books. 

(2)  A  clear  idea  of  the  purpose  and  possibilities  of  a  school  library. 

(3)  Knowledge  of  school  library  aids  that  are  obtainable. 

(4)  To  know  how  to  select  a  useful  school  library. 

(5)  To  know  how  to  order  books. 

(6)  To  know  how  to  care  for  and  use  a  school  library. 

1.     Knowledge  of  books. 

The  necessity  for  acquaintance  with  books  needs  no  argument.  With- 
out them  no  teacher  can  perform  her  task  of  opening  the  field  of  knowledge 
to  boys  and  girls  nor  give  them  full  training  for  successful  living.  Unless 
she  knows  children's  books  herself,  she  cannot  make  them  a  power  in  her 
school.  The  only  way  to  know  books  is  to  read  them,  read  good  books,  and 
cultivate  a  taste  for  them.  There  are  some  books  about  books,  which  are 
suggestive.  Every  teacher  should  read  all  or  parts  of  the  following  books, 
and  should  supplement  such  study  by  reading  the  books  mentioned  in  these 
discussions. 


Xxviii  TEACttERS'  TRAINING  DEPARTMENT

Colby.    Literature  and  life  in  school. 
Lowe.     Literature  for  children. 
Olcott.     Children's  reading. 

2.  Purpose  of  school  library. 

(1)  Supplement  class  work  and  make  lessons  more  interesting. 

(2)  Furnish  books  for  hame  reading  for  information  and  entertainment. 

(3)  Encourage  the  reading  of  good  books. 

3.  What  the  state  does  for  school  libraries. 

(1)  Requires  a  school  library  as  part  of  the  equipment  necessary  for 

state   aid   and   provides   aid   in   selection   by   means   of   school 
library  lists. 

(2)  Gives  library  aid  to  rural  schools  under  these  conditions: 

a.  District  must   expend   $10   annually   for  library   books.     The 

state  reimburses  the  district  on  a  pro  rata  basis  for  part 
of  the  sum  expended. 

b.  Books  must  be  selected  from  the  list  prepared  by  the  Depart- 

ment of  Education. 

(.3)  Department  of  Education  employs  a  Supervisor  of  school  libraries 
who  prepares  the  school  catalog,  gives  advice  on  book  selec- 
tion, arrangement  and  planning  of  library  rooms  and  all  mat- 
ters pertaining  to  school  libraries. 

(4)  Minnesota    school    library    list — Books    for    elementary    and    rural 

schools. 
All  books  bought  with  state  library  aid  must  be  selected  from  this  list. 
A  copy  may  be  obtained  from  the  county  superintendent.    Points  to 
be  noted: 

a.  Introduction — this  should  be  studied  carefully. 
Law  relating  to  school  libraries. 

Suggestions  on  the  care  and  arrangement  of  the  library. 
Two  hundred  books  for  a  Rural  school  library. 

b.  How  the  school  library  list  is  arranged. 

Class  arrangement  is  used,  thus  bringing  books  on  the  same 
subject  together  in  one  place. 

In  each  class,  the  books  are  arranged  alphabetically  by  au- 
thor's name. 

Observe  the  class  number  at  the  beginning  of  each  division, 
as  398  Fairy  tales.  This  is  the  number  for  all  books  in 
this  class. 

These  classification  numbers  correspond  to  those  used  in  pub- 
lic libraries. 

Author's  name  is  given  briefly. 

Title  of  the  book  follows  the  author's  name. 

Publisher's  name  is  given.  This  specifies  the  edition,  as  some 
books  are  issued  by  different  publishers.  An  attempt  has 
been  made  to  list  here,  good  attractive  editions.  An  index 
to  publishers  is  included  at  the  back  of  the  book. 


TEACHERS'  TRAINING  DEPARTMENT  xxix 


Price.  The  attempt  has  been  made  to  list  books  in  the  best 
inexpensive  editions,  while  in  some  cases  a  cheap  and  a 
fine  edition  have  both  been  included.  It  is  generally  con- 
sidered an  economy  to  buy  a  book  in  an  attractive  edition 
which  a  child  will  read  and  enjoy  rather  than  to  get  one 
with  poor  print  and  paper  which  will  not  be  used. 

Only  the  publisher's  list  price  can  now  be  given.  The  schools 
should  get  a  considerable  discount  from  these  prices.  Get 
prices  on  the  books  you  wish,  from  reliable  dealers  before 
ordering.     Always  add  supplementary  list  to  orders. 

c.  Grade.     The  grade  for  each  book  is  indicated. 

d.  Annotations. 

Each  book  has  a  descriptive  note:  these  should  be  read  care- 
fully. 

e.  Index.     A  full  author  and  title  index  is  given  at  the  back  of 

the  list,  referring  to  the  catalog  number  of  the  book.     This 
shows  whether  the  list  contains  a  particular  title  or  a  book 
by  a  certain  author, 
f.     How  to  use  the  School  list  as  a  catalog  of  a  school  library. 
Check  the  index  for  every  book  in  the  library,  by  author  and 
title,  also  check  the  entry  under  subject.     Mark  each  book 
with  the  number  at  the  head  of  the  division  where  it  is 
listed.    Arrange  the  books  on  the  shelves,  placing  all  of  one 
number  together,  alphabetically   by  author's   name. 
(5)     Two  hundred  books  for  a  rural  school  library. 
This  list  represents  a  standard,  beginning  collection  of  library  books 
for  a  graded  or  rural  school.     It  provides  books  for  all  ages  and 
touches  all  subjects. 

4.  Book  selection  for  school  libraries. 

Study  carefully  the  suggestions  on  page  xiv. 

Read  the  introduction  to  each  division  in  this  list. 

Read   the   annotations   under   the   title  before  ordering  and  note  the 

grade  for  which  it  is  intended.     Buy  books  from  the  200  book  list 

until  all  of  these  have  been  acquired. 
Do  not  buy  all  stories,  but  get  interesting  books  on  all  subjects.     Get 

books   of  practical   information — how   to   make   and   do   things.     In 

selecting  titles,  read   the  annotations   which  tell   something  of  the 

book. 
Observe  grade  for  which  it  is  intended.

6.  Care  of  school   library. 

Shelves  must  be  provided  for  books. 
Keep  books  in  good  order  on  shelves. 
Teach  children  to  take  care  of  books: 

To  prolong  the  life  of  book  and  keep  it  attractive. 

To  respect  the  rights  of  others — little  citizen's  duty.    No  one  likes 
a  torn,  soiled  book. 
When  new  books  come,  talk  to  children  about  them  and  their  care.

XXX         SUGGESTIONS  ON  THE  USE  OF  THE  SCHOOL  LIBRARY 


Records. 

Teachers  or  school  librarians  should  keep  a  careful  record  of  the  hooks 
in  the  library,  of  all  books  loaned,  and  keep  an  accurate  account  of 
any  money  received  for  fines. 

Reports. 

At  the  end  of  the  school  year,  make  a  report  on  the  number  of  volumes 
in   library;    number    of   volumes    added    during    the    year;    volumes 
loaned;   receipts  for  fines. 
Read  Records,  Accessioning,  pag,e  xx. 

Use  of  the  school  library. 

The  teacher  must  know  the  books  in  her  library  thoroughly  in  order 
to  use  them  successfully,  it  is  "the  book  that  teacher  says  is  good" 
that  the  child  wants  to  read. 

SUGGESTIONS  ON  THE   USE  OF  THE  SCHOOL   LIBRARY. 

Adapted  from  Oregon  State  library— School  circular  No.  2. 

What  you  may  do  to  make  it  of  service. 

1.  Know  your  books. 

2.  Look  them  over  for  something: 

a.  To  read  aloud. 

b.  To  interest  the  child  who  does  not  read. 

c.  To  help  the  one  who  has  a  decided  interest. 

d.  To  make  the  lessons  more  interesting. 

e.  To  suggest  ethical  stories  which  will  help  to  correct  faults. 

3.  Read  aloud  from  some  of  the  best  books. 

4.  Find  out  what  each  boy  and  girl  cares  most  about  and  use  curiosity 

or  interest  which  has  been  aroused.     Cultivate  any  decided  aptitude, 
and  awaken  new  interests. 

5.  Encourage  home  reading. 

6.  Substitute  a  good  book  for  the  fair  or  poor  one  which  is  undermining 

the  character  of  the  child. 

7.  Read  a  "starter"  from  a  big  book,  or  from  a  neglected  one  which  is 

really  worth  while. 

8.  Allow  individual  reading  in  the  schoolroom  when  the  lesson  is  learned, 

and  do  not  make  this  a  reward  of  merit. 

9.  Use  the  library,  to   enliven  the   language  lesson  by  Friday  afternoon 

"book  talks,"  avoiding  formal  reports. 

10.  Use  library  books  to  supplement  the  text  books.     Assign  readings  and 

allow  class  time  for  reports  on  outside  reading. 

11.  Ask  questions  to  start  search  for  information.     (For  instance— Did  the 

cavemen  have  cloth?) 

12.  Choose  a  hero  for  each  month  and  read  about  him,  talk  about  him, 

learn  about  his  life  and  times.     (Arthur,  Siegfried,  Richard  I,  Char- 
lemagne, Franklin,  Paul  Jones.) 

13.  Discuss    interesting   people    in    books.      A    debate   on    the    comparative 

merits  of  certain  boy-heroes  in  books  may  result  in  more  discrim- 
inating selection  of  ideals. 

14.  Read  short  stories  to  correct  faults  (and  do  not  point  the  moral.) 


PUPILS'  READING  CIRCLE  Xxxi 

15.  Teach  use  of  table  of  contents  and  index.     Let  the  children  see  who 

can  find  most  about  some  subject  in  a  given  time  in  some  certain 
book  or  books. 

16.  Plan  an  annual   "library   day"   with   program   from   one   author,   talks 

about  the  books,  readings,  a  debate. 

17.  Plan  for  systematic  reading  of  best  literature  through  the  grades  in 

preparation  for  literature  in  the  high  school.     Foundation  work  is 
essential  in  this  subject  as  in  others. 

18.  See  that  the  library  does  three  things  for  your  school: 

1.  Makes  the  lessons  more  interesting. 

2.  Provides  training  in  the  use  of  books. 

3.  Cultivates  the  reading  habit. 

Story  telling  is  one  of  the  best  means  of  interesting  children  in  reading. 
Use  the  story  telling  to  direct  to  books,  telling  the  story  from  a  book  not 
read  as  it  should  be.  Have  the  book  at  hand  to  show  when  telling  the 
story.  Examine  the  books  listed  under  Story  telling  and  Children's  litera- 
ture, many  of  them  include  lists  of  stories  to  tell. 

A  very  useful  pamphlet  on  story  telling  is:  List  of  stories  and  programs 
for  story  hours.     Obtain  of  H.  W.  Wilson  Co.,  White  Plains,  N.  Y.     20c. 

PUPILS'  READING  CIRCLE. 

The  reading  circle  is  a  good  aneans  of  directing  reading  and  of  arousing 
interest  in  books.  It  is  desirable  that  the  children  should  own  the  books 
they  read,  thus  beginning  a  library  of  their  own.  Parents  might  be  willing 
to  get  them  for  birthday  and  Christmas  presents,  or  the  children  save  their 
own  money  to  buy  them. 

The  reading  may  be  connected  with  the  language  work.  Informal  re- 
ports on  the  books  read,  are  usually  more  satisfactory.  The  children  should 
be  encouraged  to  tell  what  they  liked  best  in  the  book,  which  character 
they  preferred  and  whether  the  book  was  like  any  other  they  had  read. 
The  teacher  should  decide  the  number  of  books  to  be  read  in  a  year. 

This  list  is  suggested  for  reading  circles  in  the  grades,  1915-16.

Power. 

Test.  Picture  books  should  be  good  in  drawing  and  color. 
There  should  be  action  in  the  picture,  so  that  it  tells  a  story. 
The  story  told  must  be  one  which  could  be  given  to  tlie  child 
to  read  if  it  were  written.  There  should  be  humor  but  not 
coarseness,   fun   but   not  vulgarity.

Note: — For  the  earliest  years  of  childhood  Mother  Goose 
melodies  are  capital.  Even  on  entering  school  children  have 
by  no  means  outgrown  their  pleasure  in  them,  and  in  what- 
soever rhymes  and  .iingles  are  fortunate  enough  to  catch 
the  Mother  Goose  tone,  and  mirror  the  Mother  Goose  world  - 
They  are  still  easily  at  home  in  that  fantastic  world  where 
animals  are  very  human,  and  even  dumb  inanimate  objects 
grow  animate  and  speak.  The  images  presented  here  are 
simple  and  vivid,  the  stories  tantalizingly  brief,  but  satisfy- 
ing the  desire  for  action,  and  the  rhythm  is  imperious.

'  Myths.      In    early   ages   man    recognized   forces   external    to 

himself  which  largely  determined  the  conditions  of  his  life. 
These  forces  of  nature,  such  as  light  and  darkness,  fire,  and 
summer  and  winter,  he  personified  and  made  the  subject  of

398   FAIRY  TALES,  FOLK  LORE  AND  LEGEND.     HERO  STORIES. 

Fairy  tales.  Are  not  ordinarily  concerned  with  the  great 
forces  of  life,  like  mythology,  but  with  its  details.  They 
represent  the  effort  to  imagine  a  freer,  richer  life  independ- 
ent of  actual  conditions.  The  fairies  and  genii  are  the  su- 
pernatural beings  who  either  bring  all  good  things  to  pass, 
or  continually  thwart  man's  desires  and  work  him  ill. 

Test:  They  should  be  simple,  child-like,  optimistic  in  tone, 
setting  forth  right  and  wrong  clearly;  they  should  be  ex- 
pressed in  good  English.  They  should  be  free  from  mor- 
bidity,  superstition   and   animism. 

Fables.  Do  not  deal  with  supernatural  beings  and  depart 
from  the  natural  only  in  giving  to  animals  and  inanimate 
objects,  human  characteristics  and  powers.     The  fable  has  a

tho  score  of  its  supposedly  teaching'  perverted  moral  and  so- 
cial relations.  Tlie  objection  is  as  superficial  as  the  outlawry 
that  calls  it  forth.  He  who  is  not  misled  by  mere  names 
must  see  in  the  story  the  same  core  of  honesty  and  fidelity 
that  we  find  in  the  Jungle  book,  and  a  kindred  charm  of  the 
woods.  Humor  brightens  it,  and  opens  the  child  vision  to 
mirtliful  incongruities  of  boast  and  act,  of  expectation  and 
fulfillment.  In  it  a  manly  self  reliance  and  fair  play  go  side 
by  side  with  gratitude  for  a  friend's  help  in  need,  and  a  quick 
readiness  to  lend  a  hand.  The  individual  and  tlie  social  vir- 
tures  are  there  embodied  in  Robin  and  his  faitliful  outlaws.

STORIES. 

No  class  number  is  necessary  for  this  class.  Books  should 
be  arranged  on  shelves  alphabetically  by  name  of  author. 

Stories  for  little  children  in  first  to  second  grade  are  in 
class  028. 

Test:  Fiction  must  be  wholesome  in  tone,  true,  in  that  It 
gives  a  true  picture  of  life,  free  from  sensationalism  or  sen- 
timentality, moral  qualities  should  be  upheld,  and  it  should 
be  written  in  good  English. 

For  the  school  library,  the  stories  should  be  bought  which 
have  a  value  in  connection  with  the  geography  and  history
